Snmpv3 Configuration Example - HP 1910 User Manual

Verifying the configuration
After the above configuration, an SNMP connection is established between the NMS and the agent. The
NMS can get and configure the values of some parameters on the agent through MIB nodes.
Disable or enable an idle interface on the agent, and you can see the interface state change traps on the
NMS.

SNMPv3 configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
of the AP (the agent) at 1.1.1.1/24, and the AP automatically sends traps to report events to the NMS.
The NMS and the agent perform authentication when they set up an SNMP session. The authentication
algorithm is MD5 and the authentication key is authkey. The NMS and the AP also encrypt the SNMP
packets between them by using the DES56 algorithm and the privacy key prikey.
